August 6 (continued)
snakes. at 1000 we set signals of
CM21, 36, 37 at her site, and there
is a 'basking/resting pile of babies' at the
front that includes 1-dot. The babies
still have opaque eyes and skins. At
1120h I set off CM27 signal in a big
rat nest surrounded by grey rocks &
Opuntia, 4m west of this July 27 flag.
August 7 at 0810h we got only a weak poorly
directional signal from CM28 from the
road and see no snakes at the ledge
where the possible combat occurs. We get
CM27 signal from under a boulder
~30m uphill from the ledge, causing
concern that I transposed the freq.
yesterday. We have also been having
a puzzling (at least to me) difficulty
localizing signals lately. At 0820h,
at the site for F21 we see 4-dot coiled
in sun, eyes still cloudy, with balloon
visible through translucent probotton. We
get signals for CM 21, 36, &37 from the
site. at 0940 we see CM29 in the
same place and same posture as yesterday
w/ three shed skins in front of entrance,
including 2-dot. Signal same for CM38.
